Starting his career as a cabinet maker and glazing fitter in 1988, Tinkler founded WA Tinkler Building Contractor. The business later became WA Developments Limited, focusing on civil engineering contracts for the railway infrastructure sector.

Tinkler was fired from the board of Stobart Group in June 2018, accused of "breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty", losing a subsequent High Court action in February 2019. His later appeal against that decision was rejected in June 2019. [5] [6] [7] [8]
